Paulina Maria Diocese of Vliet
The last resident of the house was Paulina le Fèvre de Montigny – Diocese of Vliet. Paulina’s father and grandfather had both been mayor of Haastrecht. Paulina was a socially involved woman. She founded a girls’ school and supported numerous associations in Haastrecht. When Paulina died in 1923, the house became a museum. To this day, nothing has changed in the interior of the house.
